Three levels of snow
for voles, hares and sooty grouse to go
Subnivean: seeds and grass,
carbon dioxide gas
Internivean, where it's warm,
a hooting feathered swarm
Supranivean has footprints,
rummaging forever for food
Thousands of feet below
a spent volcano
we don't entirely know
what we think we know
Crater Lake is visible fifty-percent of the year. We got lucky and saw it early in the day. By the end of our afternoon snowshoe hike, it was completely covered by dense cloud cover.
